World War, 1914-1918 -- Personal narratives, American
Many a fond mother will be glad to know of another "Chicken Little" just
brought to light in handsome book form under the alluring title
CHICKEN LITTLE JANE
A DELIGHTFUL STORY BY
LILY MUNSELL RITCHIE
Little folk will at once fall in love with this new "Chicken Little" of
the far western prairies--the same being an affectionate nick-name given
to a dear little girl and always used when she was very, very good--but
when she misbehaved it was "Jane"!--just Jane!

LAUGH AND LIVE
A WONDERFUL BOOK OF INSPIRATION
By DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS
_The Man Who Set the World to Laughing--and Kept Himself Happy and
Well._
Many are the inspirational books that now abound written around the
various phases of existence, but "Laugh and Live" is a thing apart from
any other. Perhaps it is the author's style of writing, sort of "hammer
and tongs," breezy, convincing, seeming to come out of real experience.
But the remarkable quality of the book is that it fascinates the mind
the same as a high-class novel--grips one's faculties from chapter to
chapter. There is no preaching, no "Fatherliness," no "Big I" and
"Little You" in the text. It is more like the talk of a widely
experienced comrade back from a voyage. Asked to tell what he saw in his
travels he proceeds to do it modestly and well.

A THOUSAND WAYS TO PLEASE A HUSBAND
By LOUISE BENNETT WEAVER and HELEN COWLES LE CRON
_With Decorations in Color_ By ELIZABETH COLBORNE
_A SPLENDID GIFT FOR A BRIDE_
This volume is not the usual dull plodding kitchen cook book made up
from "collected" recipes and enlivened by photographic reproductions of
cakes, pies, roasted turkeys, and tables set with knives and forks
placed "just so." Rather it is the "life and adventures" of "Bob" and
"Bettina," who sail into the complexities of housekeeping the moment the
wedding journey is at an end. Bettina's "know-how," plus "Bob's"
good-natured helpfulness, bring about immediate success to a lively and
interesting attempt at home-building.
Unique--practical--for two people in particular and small families in
general. For economy and plenty at one and the same time it has no
equal.
